| Description | Waste4Soil project aims at developing applicable recycling technical pathways to transform food processing residues (FPR) into soil improvers, through a circular, systemic and multi actor approach at regional level involving all food chain actors, thereby closing specific loops (nutrients, organic matter, water).
The Waste4Soil project is developed through 7 Living-Labs located in several macro-regions: Nordic Baltic (Finland and Poland), Danube & Balkan States (Hungary and Slovenia), and Mediterranean (Greece, Italy, and Spain). The project will cover a great variety of FPR: fruits and vegetables, olive oil residues, wine industry, meat industry by-products, dairy products, cereals, and fish. Covering a broad range of FPR is key, because they do not have the same impacts and potential. FPR will be characterised in terms of bulk composition, also to determine the preferred way to valorise them. The developed methodology is meant to be spread to improve FPR knowledge across Europe.
